MUMBAI: Animated movie Godzilla is heading to Netflix. The movie from Japanese anime studio Polygon Pictures will debut on Netflix worldwide later this year following a Toho theatrical release in Japan.

The anime promises to offer an epic re-imagining of the Godzilla world of the future.

Kobun Shizuno (Knights of Sidonia) and Hiroyuki Seshita (AJIN: Demi-Human) are directing the movie from a screenplay by acclaimed anime writer Gen Urobuchi (Psycho-Pass). Some of the film's voice cast includes Yuki Kaji (Attack on Titan), Tomokazu Sugita (Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker), and Kana Hanazawa (Psycho-Pass).

Netflix is also bringing the second season of A Series of Unfortunate Events.

The maiden season covered the first four novels in Daniel Handler’s 13-part YA series. Netflix confirmed this with an announcement trailer playing off of the coded messages used by the secret organisation VFD in the show.
